Khloe Kardashian refuses to leave Lamar Odom’s bedside. Even for an opportunity to make lots of money. View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian & Lamar Odom: Romance Rewind … Then Unwind Sources have confirmed that the reality star has canceled her upcoming book tour because she’s too concerned about Odom’s health status. Kardashian’s estranged husband is recovering in Los Angeles after having been transferred from a hospital in Las Vegas. But he remains in bad condition due to what insiders now say was a suffering of 12 strokes . Khloe flew on a private jet to be there for Odom on the night he was fell unconscious at a Nevada brothel and was taken by ambulance to be under doctor’s supervision.

Poor Kaley Cuoco is going through a divorce right now, but she is going about it with her head held high, and leaning on her fans for support. And her friends and family, obviously. But her fans got a special shout-out from The Big Bang Theory star on her Instagram page this week … Writes the 29-year-old blonde beauty this week: “I’m feeling completely overwhelmed with the outpouring of kindness and support from people that surround me and from those I have never even met.” “I read all your comments and your sweet words have touched me deeply. I’m incredibly grateful for all your love as I start this next chapter in my life.” She’s just the greatest, isn’t she, this girl? Yes, Kaley made the questionable choice of marrying Ryan Sweeting to begin with, and the demise of her marriage after 21 months was not, well … We’ve been more surprised in life. That’s all. Give her credit, though, and give her support, because it takes guts to move on and admit you’re wrong, especially when living in the public eye. View Slideshow: Kaley Cuoco and Ryan Sweeting: A Romance Rewind A heck of a lot better that than the alternative, right? Imagine if she were to continue hanging around a guy she wasn’t happy with just for the sake of being in denial or not wanting to endure the scrutiny. No. She cut the cord, painful as it was. Like a boss. It’s also great to see when she acknowledges her fans . Especially over such a private topic and such a sensitive time, it says a lot about her character. Whatever the “next chapter” may be, she has a lot to look forward to, even if our dreams of Kaley Cuoco and Johnny Galecki dating again is a pipe dream. She addressed those rumors, too, saying that with them there are “no scandals / home wreckers / pregnancies here, y’all. Just profound friendship.” Aww. Also profound? These pics. Bazinga .
Over the past several days, we’ve heard from nearly every member of the Kardashian-Jenner family in regard to the tragic Lamar Odom situation. Kris Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Kendall Jenner, Kourtney Kardashian and Kim Kardashian have all issued statements on social media in support of their troubled loved one. View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian & Lamar Odom: Romance Rewind … Then Unwind And now Khloe Kardashian has done the same. Khloe, who is technically still married to Lamar, flew immediately to her estranged husband’s hospital bedside in Las Vegas as soon as she learned he had fallen into a coma. She remained there all of last week and is expected to continue to support Odom now that he’s been transported to Los Angeles . “The past week has been incredibly difficult,” Khloe wrote this morning on her official website. “I am so thankful to family, friends, and fans, who have sent nothing but prayers and well wishes to Lamar. I also want to take a moment to thank everyone at Sunrise Hospital, including the amazing doctors and nurses for their kindness and diligent work. “Under their amazing care, incredible strides have been made.” Just a few days ago, Odom’s odds of survival were placed at a mere 50%. He may still need a kidney transplant and there’s a long road to recovery ahead. But at least there are reasons to be cautiously optimistic. “You can never be prepared for an experience like this, but without the outpouring of love and endless prayers that Lamar has received and the strength I was given from my loved ones, it would have been difficult to endure,” Khloe added, concluding: “Thank you for your continued support. God is great!!!” These words mark the first time the 31-year old reality star has spoken in public since Odom was found unconscious on October 13 inside a VIP suite at the Love Ranch South brothel in Pahrump, Nevada. As his legal wife, Khloe was in charge of all medical decisions until Odom was deemed healthy enough to make his own choices. “Khloe is committed to staying with [Lamar],” a source told Us Weekly, adding of the days ahead and also behind: “It’s a slow process, but Khloe [has been] there every step of the way…It’s all been so draining and emotional.” View Slideshow: 9 Men Whose Lives Were Ruined By the Kardashians

How’s this for a twist: Some “shady” man claiming to be Lamar Odom‘s manager reportedly turned up at the Love Ranch brothel hours after the former NBA star was found. With Odom unconscious and on the brink of death, the man demanded to take his belongings, according to the business’ owner himself, Dennis Hof . The unidentified man took the ailing athlete’s phone among other personal items, Hof says, and made himself scarce. Oh, and it gets even weirder: A few hours after that took place, another man, identifying himself as Odom’s bodyguard, arrived … and had no earthly idea who the first visitor was. “I don’t know if I got conned,” Hof said afterward. “When this all shakes out, this was a shady motherf–ker . I didn’t recognize him. Something was up.” No word if Mike from Breaking Bad has an alibi last Tuesday. Seriously, who was this “cleaner” and what does he know? If Hof – who Khloe Kardashian wants to shut the eff up – doesn’t even know … who does?! Speaking of Khloe, she remains by Odom’s side as the 35-year-old continues to make progress following his nearly fatal overdose last week. Despite reports that Lamar Odom died or was brain dead, has been brought out of a medically induced coma, and is now breathing on his own. He has even smiled and kissed Khloe and Kim. Odom faces a long road to recovery, but there is reason for hope … and we also hope he can tell us who this Mike-like “fixer” might be. Because WTF.

It’s been almost two days Lamar Odom was found unconscious in a Nevada brothel, and sadly, the 35-year-old former NBA star has shown no signs of improvement. Though they’ve reportedly assembled in Las Vegas to be by his side as he clings to life, the Kardashian-Jenner family has mostly remained quiet on the topic of Odom’s apparent overdose. In fact, the family has taken to social media only to post brief words of affection for Khloe’s estranged husband. Yesterday, Kendall Jenner paid tribute to Lamar with a tweet reading simply, “Please don’t go.” Moments ago, Kylie Jenner followed suit by posting the photo below, along with a touching caption: “Let’s dance again together soon,” Kylie wrote. “Prayers up for Lamar please.” Though Khloe and Lamar separated in 2013, several members of the Kardashian clan have remained close to Odom. Lamar lost his mother at a young age and only recently reconciled with his heroin addict father, who abandoned his family while Lamar was still a child. Kris Jenner quickly became a surrogate mother figure to Lamar, and he formed close relationships with several of Khloe’s siblings, particularly her brother, Rob Kardashian. It was recently revealed that Khloe and Lamar might still be legally married , and she may be in the position of making important medical and legal decisions on behalf of her troubled ex. Whatever the case, the Kardashian-Jenners clearly still consider Lamar to be a part of the family. View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian & Lamar Odom: Romance Rewind … Then Unwind
Authorities have released the chilling 911 calls made by a manager of a brothel in Nevada after his employees discovered Lamar Odom passed out in his suite on Tuesday. Played during a press conference the day after news of Odom’s hospitalization broke, one recording features Richard Hunter (the love ranch's media director) telling a 911 operator that the former basketball star had used cocaine on Saturday, but not taken any since then. “He's taken a bunch of these,” Hunter also says of natural sexual enhancement supplements. It has since been reported that this supplement is called Reload and it has a number of dangerous side effects. Doctors have determined that Odom suffered multiple strokes at the brothel; he remains in critical condition at the moment, with Khloe Kardashian by his side at a Las Vegas hospital. Odom's odds of survival, according to a source familiar with the situation, are not greater than 50% . Listen to the frightening 911 calls now.
On Empire Season 2 Episode 4, the Lyons looked to put aside their differences – at least long enough to capitalize on the latest duet by ‘Mal and ‘Keem. Meanwhile, the FBI stepped up its offensive against Lucious, Cookie outwitted just about everyone and Uncle Vernon made a surprise reappearance. Oh yes. You read that right. Watch Empire Season 2 Episode 4 Online Picking up where last week left off Empire Season 2 Episode 4 saw the feds storm Empire headquarters, and the Lyon Dynasty offices. And Lucious’ house. Roxanne Ford is just going ham. After greeting Roxanne without getting dressed first, Lucious plans his own offensive, announcing that the company will expand, not sit tight. “Where we come from, if the cops raid your house that makes you a G. If the feds raid your house it makes you an O.G.,” he tells the board. Even Mimi Whiteman approves. Part of his strategy is for Jamal and Hakeem to team up for a new music video where they star as post-apocalyptic Black Panthers, fighting oppression. Subtle, it is not. By a long shot. The uneasy truce between Empire and Lyon Dynasty comes as Lucious figures out that this raid is actually a tactic giving away two facts: The FBI can’t pin Bunkie on him; They don’t have Vernon, either. The music video shoot goes well until a photographer shows up with Jamal’s Rolling Stone cover, a lifesize portrait of ‘Mal and his beautiful soul. Hakeem takes a weapon from the props and stabs Rolling Stone Jamal in the throat, then gets into an actual fight with his brother, then peaces out. As for why Cookie let the shoot go haywire, she didn’t … but she did miss it after she was arrested on an outstanding warrant of suspicious origin. In the interrogation room, she recalls the years she spent in prison as none other than Roxanne Ford shows up and explains the current situation. Porsha gave her name after being busted hopping an MTA turnstile. Clearly, video shows it’s not actually Cookie … but this is Roxanne Ford here. She quickly threatens Cookie with a parole violation – and failing that, with what she’ll do to her sons – if she doesn’t sing on what Lucious did to Bunkie. View Slideshow: Empire Cast: Did You Know…? After telling her adversary ”you need to kill yourself of that whack weave you got on top of your head,” Cookie cools off and thinks of a way through. She tells Ford that she doesn’t know if Lucious did anything to Bunkie, only that Bunkie tried to stop Lucious from completing the Apex radio deal. This lie makes a lot of circumstantial sense to Roxanne, as Lucious made the deal right after he got sprung from jail, and it also serves two purposes. Essentially, Cookie thwarted the Apex deal and tied Lucious up with the FCC, while not actually implicating him in any crime(s). A stroke of genius. Meanwhile, Andre is increasingly desperate to get his job back, even telling Rhonda that God wants him to. And the only way is to dig up Vernon. If he can make the FBI go away, Lucious says he can have anything he wants. That’s enough for the couple to head into the woods, shovels in hand. The headlights they assume are cops coming to bust them are actually those of Lucious and Thirsty, who followed them to the makeshift grave site. Thanks to Thirsty’s corpse detection system (seriously), they find Vernon’s body and put it in the trunk. A pair of makeshift eulogies are quickly offered: “I’ll miss you forever. God help me.” – Dre “You will rot in hell, you snitch.” – Lucious Dre gets his job back after a warm embrace from his father, and the next morning, Roxanne hops into her car … next to Vernon’s rotting carcass. Who put it there and how will she react now?! Also, who was the random woman in bed with Lucious at the beginning? Will ‘Mal and ‘Keem make up? Does the latter frequent jazz clubs often? So many burning questions. Until next week! View Slideshow: 35 Highest Paid TV Stars of 2015
Are The Big Bang Theory’s Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco getting back together in the wake of her breakup with husband Ryan Sweeting? The actress just addressed those rumors head on. In some ways, these rumors were utterly inevitable. Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco dated before she married Sweeting, and where there’s Penny and Leonard, there’s always a chance, no? Reports that they secretly pined for each other, or that Kaley Cuoco cheated on Ryan with Johnny , spread like wildfire after her separation. Kaley took notice, captioning the photo above: “So sorry to disappoint, but no home wreckers or secret flings going on here. Me and @sanctionedjohnnygalecki are just the best of buds.” “Leonard and Penny will just have to suffice!!!” So alas, all the “Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco are getting back together” dreams have been shattered … but they did get married on TV . Things also change quickly in the love life of Kaley. We’re just saying. Girl goes from zero to pre-engaged in about two hours, so while we are all for “best buds,” we refuse to rule anything out. Except a reconciliation with Ryan. Look for her to divorce Sweeting as soon as humanly possible and go back to just “Kaley Cuoco” in the credits.
Kris Jenner and Rob Kardashian have both spoken out for the first time since Lamar Odom was found unconscious inside a Nevada brothel. And both have sent similar messages of desperate hope. Authorities and employees at The Love Ranch (where Odom partied for days prior to this incident) have confirmed that Odom used cocaine and an herbal Viagra-type supplement called “Reload” during his stay at the establishment. An MRI has since confirmed that Odom suffered multiple strokes, which have resulted in possible organ failure. He is in critical condition in a Las Vegas hospital, with Khloe Kardashian and Kobe Bryant among those at his side. “Please pray for Lamar #ourfighter,” Kris Jenner captioned an Instagram photo yesterday of Odom playing for the Los Angeles Lakers, while Rob Kardashian added his own picture (above) and wrote: “Praying nonstop for my brother !!” The close relationship between Rob and Lamar had been well-documented for years on Keeping Up with the Kardashians and Khloe & Lamar. Rob even lived with his sister and brother-in-law for a period; and some attributed Rob’s own recent downfall (which included significant weight gain and alleged drug use) to Khloe’s split from Lamar. View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian & Lamar Odom: Romance Rewind … Then Unwind According to a press conference held by Sheriff Sharon Wehrly and Nye County Sheriff’s Office Wednesday afternoon, Odom ingested cocaine on Saturday and “had used up to 10 tabs of sexual performance enhancements over a three day period.” In the Lamar Odom 911 calls released to the public yesterday, Ranch employees explained that Odom “was unconscious but breathing and had blood coming from his nose and mouth along with a white substance.” Moreover, the Sheriff’s Office told reporters that it contacted a member of the Kardashian family, who, upon being told about Odom, was “understandably distraught.” It’s very safe to assume this family member was Khloe, who is legally still married to Lamar and who is responsible for all his medical decisions for as long as he remains in a coma. Kris is still in Las Vegas, along with Khloe, Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall Jenner, the latter two having arrived late Wednesday. We join Kris, Rob and the following celebrities in sending our thoughts and prayers to Lamar Odom. View Slideshow: Lamar Odom: In Thoughts, Prayers of Stars Everywhere
